Class A First-hand BFRO #16308

Man describes sighting during teen years in Alaire State Park

8 August 1966 11 PM to 1 AM NEPTUNE NJ, Monmouth County, New Jersey 4 witnesses

Account

The witness, then a teenager, was riding in a car with friends at night near Allaire State Park when they heard a high-pitched screech. While making a K-turn, the headlights illuminated a very tall reddish-brown manlike figure very close to the front of the car. The figure appeared surprised by the lights, the driver froze, a companion honked the horn with no immediate reaction, and a musty smell was noticed.
